Graphic Base Jump Accident

Recommended Posts

SO glad they were able to save the foot.

And I am glad this is posted here.
I wouldn't have seen it.

I used to swoop a little. I know how dangerous fun for us is.

BASE jumpers are in a whole different danger zone

I get it. I would do it if I was more current, and had a mentor.

but meh. Maybe one day.

First of all..mad props to all in the base community.

However I don't see how me posting this on dz.com is disrespecting anyone. You're acting like I was calling him names or something.



Touchy lot.

This sure brought back some memories for me. I think it was 2006 when I broke my left heal in five places. It was Moab, and I believe it was Mineral Bottoms too. It was my 18th base jump. Did all but never a building. Out of five of us: three went home on crutches. Within a year plus/ minus my mentor died slipping off a steam shovel. Before he died, another had died at Twin Falls when his wrapped pilot chute would not inflate. I finally sold my gear this past Labor Day weekend to an Australian kid. I miss it, but I don't mend like I used to. Now, it's just an occasional skydive and climbing.

I'm glad "Pirate" is doing well, and wish him a full recovery.

Crud!! Why did you have to give that warning?? I was going to tell someone to watch it as pay back. :P:P He kinda has a weak stomach for that sort of thing. :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

Hhhhhmmm maybe he hasn't seen the thread yet. :P

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.

Nuthin' wrong with showing graphically that can happen...despite all the cool press, it ain"t nerf world.

Real people can get real hurt & really dead.

To be fair to the whiney git, it really wasn't him being a pratt that caused his medical bills.

90% of this thread now believe it is Andy who had the 'graphic base accident':D:D:D

It is really funny how people get judged on their online persona here.
